President-elect Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party’s dominant showing in last month’s election could usher in an era of change at Harvard University with the school’s leader reportedly telling faculty they need to revamp their messaging.

In a closed-door meeting that took place earlier this month, Harvard President Alan M. Garber told Faculty of Arts and Sciences members that the mood in Washington, D.C. isn’t one of happiness with the nation’s institutions of higher learning which have been at the forefront of the “woke” ideological revolution as well as the explosion of antisemitism over Israel’s war on Hamas.

According to the Harvard Crimson, Garber told faculty that he’s met with around 40 lawmakers during his six trips to the nation’s capital since taking over for disgraced ex-president and serial plagiarist Claudine Gay, explaining that “he emerged from the conversations convinced there was bipartisan frustration with Harvard and acknowledged that he believes the criticisms contain elements of truth.”

The university’s newspaper reported that Garber saw the election as an “anti-elite repudiation by the American electorate” and that the elite Ivy League institution must listen to criticism with “empathy and humility.”

The Crimson reported that Garber said Harvard’s “communications strategy has not worked as well as its leaders had thought,” although he didn’t provide details on how the messaging could be tweaked going forward.

“Garber’s conciliatory tone suggests he intends to take a diplomatic approach — rather than a defiant one — as he interacts with an incoming presidential administration that has Harvard in its crosshairs,” according to the Crimson.

At the meeting, Paul Andrew, who is Harvard’s Vice President for Public Affairs and Communications, said that officials consider “an endowment tax, congressional probes, and threats to federal research funding” as the top potential threats to the Cambridge, MA-based university from Washington.

Garber has previously told the faculty that an increase in the endowment tax is the “threat that keeps me up at night.”

“The University will continue to engage in Washington and with federal leaders to make the case for the partnership between the government and universities that supports students, vital research and innovation that fuel economic growth, as well as improvements in health and wellbeing,” Harvard spokesperson Jason A. Newton said in a statement.

It won’t be easy cleaning up the mess left by Gay who presided over what was once the nation’s most prestigious university but had become an “a**hole factory” that indoctrinated students with racist anti-white DEI ideology and permitted the festering of virulent antisemitism during her tenure.

Gay was forced out in disgrace earlier this year but was able to retain her position on the faculty, and her fat paycheck as well despite running the university into the rocks. She was replaced by Garber who was Harvard’s longtime provost.
